Or have I missed something...
Hi, this Paul @Zuonics. Aside from a wealth of other functionality, ZoeOS allows both preset and sample packages. Preset packages allows arbitrary chunks of preset memory and associated samples (over SMDI) to be saved to the local PC disk. Multimode and master settings can be stored in preset packages too. Preset packaging is comparable in speed to saving to an EOS disk for small number of presets e.g 1-50. But to save a bank chock full of presets as a preset package requires the retireval of each preset over midi before saving(which can take a little time). Therefore preset packages are envisioned as a neat way to store complete ideas outside of the EOS file system - but are not to be seen a s a replacement.
Creating a preset package in ZoeOS is as simple as selecting the presets you want to package and selecting the package command. Note also, ZoeOS will also parse the links of each preset and automatically inclide linked presets too.
Another point: E-MU does not support retrieval of RFX parameters, so these cannot be included in preset packages.
